Description

A light, lively wonder for readers who savour a wry smile with their morning tea. Bill Nye And Boomerang invites you into a vintage landscape where animal fables and tales mingle with moral anecdotes humour, and where a meek-eyed mule leads a parade of quaint, affectionate satire. This volume offers more than a humour anthology; it is a compact American literature collection that stretches back to nineteenth century america, yielding a Mark Twain-tinged humour and a clear throughline of humane curiosity. The tales charm with simple plots, genteel wit, and a robust moral sensibility that still feels contemporary in tone and spirit. It is accessible, yet richly textured, inviting casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike to savour Nye's gentle, humane storytelling and the era's air of curiosity and invention. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This edition honours Nye's original voice while preserving the quirks and warmth that make this a true classic in the collection of quaint tales, a cornerstone of early american humour, and a natural companion to other vintage classics in a tasteful, enduring classic american humour collection.
